HPE Aruba Networking EOL October 31, 2026: Access Points, Switches and MSR Routers

By Scott Bissett  ·  Published: October 19, 2026  ·  Reference guide  ·  Dates read twice on the day of publication from HPE Aruba Networking's Product End of Life notifications at networkingsupport.hpe.com (the notification data, and the same query run in HPE's page), cross-checked against HPE's End of Sale announcement PDFs where one exists, and re-checked at every site build.

Six HPE Aruba Networking SKUs pass a lifecycle milestone on October 31, 2026. Four reach End of Support Life, after which, in HPE's words, the product is no longer supported by Aruba Support Services: the JW327ACM and JW825ACM Central-managed Instant access points (IAP-325 and IAP-335), the J9777A Aruba 2530 8G Switch and the JL356A Aruba 2540 24G PoE+ 4SFP+ Switch. The other two, the JG405A HPE FlexNetwork MSR3044 Router and the JG406A MSR3024 AC Router, only reach End of Sale that day; HPE supports them until October 31, 2030. Every date below is the SKU's own row in HPE's Product End of Life notifications, and each SKU links to its page with live status and EOL Risk Score.

Quick answer: After October 31, 2026, Aruba Support Services no longer support the JW327ACM, JW825ACM, J9777A or JL356A. The MSR3044 (JG405A) and MSR3024 (JG406A) can no longer be bought after that day but stay supported until October 31, 2030. Sibling SKUs in the same families have different dates, so check the exact SKU on the device.

Reaching End of Support Life

JL356AAruba 2540 24G PoE+ 4SFP+ SwitchOctober 31, 2021October 31, 2026

The access points are exceptions in their own notices. HPE's 320 Series and 330 Series announcements give most IAP-324, IAP-325, IAP-334 and IAP-335 SKUs later dates; the CM variants JW327ACM and JW825ACM are listed separately with an earlier End of Sale and an End of Support of October 31, 2026, and HPE names no replacement for them. For the other SKUs in those series, HPE recommends AP-534 and AP-535 models.

The switches are also single SKUs. Other 2530 and 2540 models end later: the J9774A 2530 8G PoE+ Switch on April 30, 2027, the JL354A 2540 24G 4SFP+ Switch on January 31, 2027, and the Central-managed JL356ACM on December 31, 2026. HPE's 2540 announcement recommends the Aruba CX 6100 series as the replacement, the JL677A Aruba 6100 24G CL4 4SFP+ Switch for the JL356A.

Reaching End of Sale only

JG405AHPE FlexNetwork MSR3044 RouterOctober 31, 2026October 31, 2030
JG406AHPE FlexNetwork MSR3024 AC RouterOctober 31, 2026October 31, 2030

For the routers, the deadline is a buying deadline: spares and new units must be ordered by the End of Sale date, and the routers stay supported for four more years. One caution on sources: an August 2022 HPE announcement PDF for the MSR3024 shows an earlier End of Sale, extended in a footnote. HPE's current notification data, which this guide and the product pages use, carries the later dates above. That 2022 announcement named the R9J03A HPE MSR3026 Router as the MSR3024's recommended replacement.

What the milestones mean

HPE Aruba Networking's End of Sale and End of Support Life announcements define the terms:

On this site, a SKU's "active support" date is its End of Sale date and its end-of-life date is its End of Support date.

What to do

  1. Read the SKU from each device, including any CM suffix: siblings in the same series have different dates.
  2. JW327ACM, JW825ACM, J9777A, JL356A: plan replacement now; Aruba Support Services end on October 31, 2026.
  3. JG405A, JG406A: order any spares before End of Sale, and plan replacement around October 31, 2030.
  4. Check the rest of the estate: the access point, switch and gateway and router pages list every SKU HPE has dated, and the EOL Checker answers for a single SKU.
